Price History
Description
The Seam lamps by Dutch designer Seppe Van Heusden show an interesting contrast between a black steel arm and base with an artistic porcelain lampshade. The name is inspired by the lampshade’s visible seam of the mould, used for casting the porcelain shade. The designer says: "The purpose of my work is to make the most of the characteristics of the material and its process in the form of objects that express calmness."
Our Stylist Says
I really like this small white ceiling pendant for its clean, minimalist aesthetic, making it versatile across a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in modern, Scandinavian, or contemporary spaces where its understated design can complement rather than compete with other elements. Practical styling tips include hanging it over dining tables, kitchen islands, or seating areas where soft, ambient lighting is desired. When styling around it, keep the colour palette light and neutral to emphasise its simplicity, and consider pairing it with other sleek fixtures or natural textures for a well-balanced look. This piece offers a subtle but sophisticated touch, making it a great choice for adding understated elegance to smaller or more streamlined rooms.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
